FAQs

How much paint do I need?

Coverage depends on the surface. Check the product label for the approximate coverage per litre.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it can be used, consider a paint specifically designed for high-moisture areas for better durability.

How do I prepare the walls before painting?

Clean the walls, fill any holes or cracks, and sand the surface for a smooth finish. Ensure the surface is dry.

What tools do I need?

You'll need a brush or roller, a paint tray, and possibly painter's tape and drop cloths.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times are indicated on the tin. Typically, it dries to touch in a few hours, but allow sufficient time between coats.

How do I store leftover paint?

Ensure the lid is sealed tightly and store in a cool, dry place.

Can I use this paint on wood?

This paint is primarily designed for walls and ceilings. For wood, it's best to use a paint specifically formulated for that material.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure even application by using a roller or brush correctly and applying a second coat if needed. Make sure the surface is properly prepared.

Paint doesn't cover the existing colour well.

Apply a second coat, or consider using a primer for improved coverage, especially if changing to a lighter colour from a darker one.

Paint takes a long time to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation and check the room temperature. Excessive humidity can also slow down drying. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for ideal drying conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, and loose material. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface, a primer may not always be necessary, but it can improve adhesion and coverage.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats, allowing each coat to dry completely.
  4. Compatibility: Suitable for use on most interior wall and ceiling surfaces.
  5. Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use. Avoid harsh chemicals for cleaning the painted surface; a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
